Thanks for the reply. This theory was raisd by someone else in the previous thread (which I link to). If this is the case, and there's no confirmation this is what they're complaining about, it's not an issue with this site, it's an issue with a link. The session hasn't "disappeared". I run into this, but it's obvious that I'm no longer logged in. The URL is different (another clue). For some time now I've used the perlmonks blue theme, making the site impossible to confuse with the normal theme. Failing that there's always the large text warning users who aren't logged in. If find it hard to believe that this is their actual complaint, given their claimed expertise/CV/Resume.

When putting a smiley right before a closing parenthesis, do you:

Use two parentheses: (Like this: :) )
Use one parenthesis: (Like this: :)
Reverse direction of the smiley: (Like this: (: )
Use angle/square brackets instead of parentheses
Use C-style commenting to set the smiley off from the closing parenthesis
Make the smiley a dunce: (:>
I disapprove of emoticons
